About Darla

Darla Roundtree is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression, and parenting concerns. She also supports people coping with grief, identity and LGBT questions, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Darla brings ten years of social work experience to her practice and approaches each person with calm attention and respect.

She aims for a collaborative style in sessions. Darla listens closely and responds without judgment. She helps people name what matters, notice patterns, and take small steps toward clearer goals. Her presence and steady feedback are central to how she works with others.

In practice she leans on approaches that focus on relationships, feelings, and practical skills. She uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-focused elements guide conversations about strong emotions and how they affect connections.

Darla draws on a decade of experience in social work to combine listening with concrete strategies. She encourages people to use their strengths and resources while learning new coping tools. Her tone is direct but warm, and she aims to make sessions feel useful from the start.

People interested in beginning with her are invited to describe what they want to work on and consider a plan together. She works with adults who want practical help managing life stressors, improving relationships, or moving through painful experiences.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviors. Online sessions can use that lens to map patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, offering acceptance and reflective listening to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits through clear skills and exercises.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. She will ask about goals, what has helped before, and how someone prefers to learn. Then she and the client will try methods that fit those needs and adjust as progress is made, keeping the plan practical and goal-oriented.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. One general benefit of online sessions is easier fitting of appointments into busy days, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or scheduling without a commute. Online work can also let a person use quieter surroundings, avoid camera time when wanted, or focus on skills practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, client-centered, and CBT strategies to an online setting to keep sessions focused and actionable.
